Time.news – Green light from the extraordinary commissioner for the Covid emergency to vaccines on vacation. “Where for exceptional reasons it should be necessary to administer the second dose to workers and tourists who stay outside the Region or the Autonomous Province of residence for a suitable period of stay – wrote General Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, accepting the request of the Conference State-Regions – this structure, if informed well in advance, is available to rebalance the doses to be distributed. As regards the registration on the computerized systems, the current procedures, if correctly implemented by each Region / PA, already allow the regular maintenance of information flows “.
Ball now goes to the Regions. The president of Liguria Giovanni Toti said he had already addressed the issue with the Governor of Piedmont, Alberto Cirio. “We have put our staff to work and in the next few hours they will build a protocol. It is obvious that it will not be a service for everyone, but it will certainly be a service that already indicates flexibility. We will agree with those who ask for it.” .
“We are a Region – Toti clarified – that mostly hosts tourists and doesn’t send many around for the number of inhabitants we have. With Piedmont we know that they are 250 thousand compared to 50 thousand; with Lombardy, if anything, the theme are the Ligurians who work there. We are available to work with everyone “. According to the president of Liguria, vaccination on vacation “will be managed with bilateral agreements between Regions. General Figliuolo’s commissioner structure has given availability within the two parameters that will need to be explored, that of exceptionality and the appropriate period of time, to take an active part in the rebalancing of doses on the basis of reports from the regional health services “.
On the subject, Figliuolo himself recalled that “flexibility was already foreseen when booking the recall. The Conference of Regions asked me to allow the second dose even on vacation and for the structure it is fine. I hope that my commitment extraordinary commissioner ends as soon as possible. I made a commitment: to vaccinate 80% of Italians by September. This is the fixed point, the rest is in the hands of the Prime Minister and the government “.
